Africa ((African Version: Afrika (by Tukuleur) - 2000)) Composer(s): Jeff Porcaro - David Paich First release by: Toto - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say 'Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
What Have I Gained From Loving You Spanish Title: Qué He Sacado Con Quererte Composer(s): Violeta Parra Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
What have I gained from the moon that we both watched together What have I gained with the names written on the wall Just like the calendar changes, so changes everything in this world Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the lily that we planted in the patio It wasn't just one who was planting it, but two lovers Gardener, your garden has not changed with time Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the shadow of the aromo tree for a witness And the trace of four feet by the road side What have I gained from loving you, little carnation in bloom Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
Here is the same moon, and in the patio the white lily The two names on the wall and your trail on the road But you, ungrateful dove, no longer coo in my nest Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
Le giraffe dal lungo, lungo collo sopra gli alberi bruciano la vita nel silenzio, la pace più assoluta uno sparo e l'aria è lacerata Un bambino è spaventato stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita Una scimmia da lontano alza il capo incuriosita...
I leoni sdraiati lì nell'ombra siamo in tanti con i cuccioli giocano a graffiarsi già innocenti paradiso di vita, naturale siamo in tanti uno sparo e un grido che fa male obbedienti un bambino è spaventato senza amore stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita senza guida e la gente da lontano com'è ingiusta abbassa gli occhi un'altra volta piangendo questa sfida e quel sole non si nasconde mai le capanne là e quel sole impietoso sopra noi desolate ma dov'e l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su nel cuore tanta libertà ma vediamo sempre e solo blu no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai quegli occhi vivi solo l'odio può farci male ormai e luccicanti che tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci han bisogno anche di te tu fratello perché non mi conosci?
In questa immensità siamo in tanti quanti delitti non si sa innocenti si respira l'amore siamo in tanti si respira il dolore No, non abbiamo mai visto la neve siamo già contenti quando piove donne belle e dolci come il miele il sudore sulle labbra sa di sale e quel sole non si nasconde mai Le capanne là e quel sole impietoso sopra noi desolate ma dov'è l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su nel cuore tanta libertà ma vediamo sempre e solo blu no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai quegli occhi vivi solo l'odio può farci male ormai e luccicanti che tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci han bisogno anche di te tu fratello perché non mi conosci?
What Good Am I Without You? Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Don Rodney Performer(s): Frankie Laine
I'm like a song that no one sings I'm like a bird without its wings I'm like a star that fell from the sky What good am I without you?
Where is the sun that used to shine? Where is the one who once was mine? Aimless am I, like clouds drifting by What good am I without you?
You are the very breath I take7 The every wish and prayer I make You are so much a part of me You'll always be the very heart of me
How can I live without you near When I'm so mad about you dear How can I laugh when I want to cry What good am I without you, Darling What good am I without you?.
Afraid To Fall In Love Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Harry Warren Performer(s): Mickey Rooney & Gloria DeHaven
(He:) Since the day that Mister Noah put together things Many furry, many finny, many feather things Have endured because they knew the way to weather things There were rules to be obeyed
That's the way we're made Why should anybody be afraid? They all had lovers the world discovers This danger hovers when spring uncovers It's natch'ral to feel this feeling you feel But fears were doomed to fade That's the way we're made Why should anybody be afraid? Love is something you acquire, there's much to learn of it
No astrologer you hire can tell the turn of it If you fiddle with the fire, you risk the burn of it What you learn may disconcert you But it isn't gonna hurt you So you mustn't be afraid to fall in love
(She:) In a book of love, and I have read through all of it There's a chapter there referring to the call of it
Juliet and Cleopatra knew the fall of it But the poison vial and asp Really made me gasp Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid They all lie sleeping 'cause love came sweeping No way of keeping their hearts from weeping If you say, "Why feel this feeling I feel?" Until they find a cure I'll avoid the lure
Maybe that's the reason I'm afraid So it seems that love is fatal as I've read of it Maybe that's the reason why I have a dread of it Oh, there must be something else to do instead of it When my very own dear mother said There're times she wished that she were dead No, I'm afraid I mustn't fall in love
What Good Am I Composer(s): Kenny Lynch; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Cilla Black
Once I used to turn away I never hear a word you'd say Suddenly your words run true
I started to believe in you Now I love you but you are gone There's nothing left to build upon In a world I never know I thought I could depend on you For Love Come to you for love
You could make a day for me Seem like a year of Ecstasy Every moment spent apart Was like a sword thrust through my heart I hought our love would grow and grow But all that seems so long ago Were you just to blind to see that You were more than life to me
Afraid To Dream Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel Performer(s): Benny Goodman and multiple other artists
Afraid to dream, afraid that you may not be there Afraid to dream, without you it would seem so bare With open arms I call to you, I want you, dear Just as I reach for you, why do you disappear? Afraid to dream; I'll see you there with someone new Afraid to find another one caressing you Although you promised me that this could never be It's the thought of losing you that makes me so afraid to dream
What Goes Up Must Come Down Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Ted Koehler Performer(s): Cyril Grantham; and various other artists
You leave me alone, you dont even phone Youre carefree as a bird in the sky But what goes up must come down And, Baby, youve been flying too high
Its all over town, youre chasing around But Im not gonna sit home and cry Remember what goes up must come down And, Baby, youve been flying too high
You ought to get your walkin papers But now its too late Because I know you too well When youre through cuttin capers You break down my gate To ring my front door bell
So go have your fling, and dont miss a thing Ill see you down to earth by and by Remember what goes up must come down And, Baby, youve been flying too high
Afraid To Care Composer(s): Jack Greene - Kenna Campbell Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Here I go again Love's standing at my door I'm so afraid to take a chance For I've been hurt before
It's not that I can't love you Your life I'd like to share But my heart's been broken so many times It's just afraid to care
Maybe time will ease the pain And someday I can love again My heart can't stand a new affair It's loved and lost so many times It's just afraid to care
Maybe time will ease the pain And someday I can love again My heart can't stand a new affair It's loved and lost so many times It's just afraid to care
Afraid Of Tomorrow Composer(s): Gary Moore Performer(s): Gary Moore
All of our destinies written within us No more of falling for the world's biggest lie Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom? Nothing can stop you now Live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Crossing the wilderness, finding the treasure Buried within yourself all you desire Soul of the world can see all you are feeling Heeding the wise man's words, all things are one
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Mmah, ah
All of our destinies written within us No more of falling for the world's biggest lie Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom? Nothing can stop you now, so live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
What Goes On Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): The Velvet Underground
What goes on in your mind? I think that I am falling down What goes on in your mind? I think that I am upside down Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work allright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down I'm gonna fly from side to side See the bells, up in the sky Somebody's cut the string in two Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
One minute one, one minute two One minute up and one minute down What goes on here in your mind? I think that I am falling down Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
Afraid Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Lukather - David Paich - Jeff Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto; Joyce Randolph
You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found
I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cos girl, you're pushin' too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me askin' myself how I survived this far
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say
Can't be something that you never ever had
When I stop and think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
Now that I see what you are, it doesn't hurt so bad
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say

What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"? Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson Performer(s): Margaret Young
I went to school, and then I went to college Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree Won't someone please tell me
What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"? What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"? I know that hay means horses And that marriage means divorces But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop
What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"? What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"? I know that Heinz means pickles And I know a feather tickles But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
Afghanistan Composer(s): William Wilander - Harry Donnelly
In the land of Afghanistan There's a Hindu maid and a man She swore by the stars up above her That he was the one to love her But there came another one day Stole his Hindu maiden away Hindu man is lonely and blue In his dreams he's calling to her
All the wealth of Afghanistan Cannot ease the heart of this man Tho' the stars with splendor are shining Hindu's heart can't stop it's pining Though he's trying hard to forget He has hopes and dreams of her yet Thinking that she'll come back some say To his idol he keeps praying
In Afghanistan There's a Caravan By the fair oasis waiting for you and for you only Cross the desert sand we will find a temple There will be a bridal day for you my idol In Afghanistan
